Inspiration in Arles...

I have always loved this photo of window shutters I took last year in Arles!


So I have used it as the inspiration for the "Aurifil-Make a Designer Collection"

Competition over at Lily's Quilts

I love the subtlety and delicacy of this range of colours!

And onto other matters.....

I have made some more Bitty Blocks...

No, not volcanoes erupting!

Little Black Dresses- foundation pieced 

and....



Birdhouses!


I had great fun improvising with these!

There is also a baby quilt on the drawing board!

I hope to have it ready to show you in a few days time!

What have you got on the drawing board?

Happy sewing!

You have been very busy.
The Aurifil mosaic is awesome, lve it.
I'd be working on lots of hand sewn blocks if I hadn't hurt my right shoulder, grrrrr.

I really love the shutter colours a lot. The foundation blocks are wonderful, especially the itty bitty dresses. I'd love to have something new on the wall but it's the ongoing stuff as usual.
